    Default New Pads, New rotors - Beddding in?

    Hi,
    Just replaced my rotors with DBA Cross Drilled and slotted and pads with Bendix Ultimate on the front and Bendix Advance on the back, just wondering what exactly I do to bed them in as I've lost the boxes / info that came with them, cheers for any help.

    Bed them in as with any other new brakes. 500km of easy going that is.

    Just try and be as smooth as possible with ur braking for the first few hundred k's. Like braking earlier and not pulling up hard. This wont cause any glazing either.

    Yeah the slotted part helps de-glaze the pads. Doesn't it tell you bedding in procedures on the brake pad box?
